Hello,

I need to recompile dovecot on ubuntu 14.04
What would be the easiest way to do this?

I am trying to follow this tutorial:-
https://blog.vbonhomme.fr/add-full-text-search-fts-to-your-dovecot-using-solr-4-10-on-ubuntu-14-04/

When I run :-
 apt-get source dovecot
Reading package lists... Done

Unpack command 'dpkg-source -x dovecot_2.2.9-1ubuntu2.1.dsc' failed.
Check if the 'dpkg-dev' package is installed.
E: Child process failed


Any faster means? Also cant get dpkg-dev installed on my system.

Thanks
Kevin
